This website contains dynamic news content from across West Africa, including several fascinating videos to accompany the articles. It also has a "crime watch" section that currently features several articles about drug trafficking in West Africa, a very pertinent issue for the U.S., as drug routes have begun to make their way to North America from West Africa (rather than exclusively to Europe). The site also provides a (very brief) overview of the region's history, which will be helpful to augment the knowledge we're gaining from our research into our focus country. http://www.allwestafrica.com/
